How PAE is performed
Under local anesthesia and sedation, a catheter is inserted into the femoral or radial artery through puncture. Under the guidance of digital subtraction angiography, the catheter is selectively inserted into the prostatic artery, and particulate material is injected to embolize the blood supply and reduce glandular perfusion. Postoperative monitoring includes pain, urination, and renal function. The goal is to relieve obstruction and improve symptoms. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific information is subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
